Ain't No Party Like A House Boat Party

Yes! The Minnesota Vikings find themselves in trouble this week, following allegations of a raucus house-boat party on Lake Minnesota. Apparently, grown millionaires were drinking, partying and getting it on with women on a boat. Shocking! The first thing that came to my mind was, Lake Minnesota? The players quotes were the best, though. I should just let them speak for themselves.

Running back Mewelde Moore acknowledged he was present on one of the boats, but he said he saw none of the alleged behavior. "That's crazy. Sex? Come on," said Moore, the team's leading rusher with 187 yards.

A television reporter claimed to have obtained a list of attendees that included free safety Darren Sharper's name on it. "Somebody must have lied," Sharper said, shaking his head.

This story isn't as funny as Onterrio Smith and the Original Whizzinator, but it is pretty darn close. How can you ever beat a story about a man getting busted for carrying a fake penis at an airport, though? I mean, really. Throw in Randy Moss fake-mooning people, and it has been a pretty awesome year and a half for the Vikings.

Apparently the video of Moore denying that there were people having sex on the boat is quite hilarious. I have yet to see it, but I believe I can still recommend.
